Members of three fire departments responding just before 11 o’clock this morning to a structure fire in Onalaska found a detached garage fully engulfed in flames.

“Quick action from arriving crews kept damage to the house at a minimum, with the majority of (that) damage affecting the exterior of the structure,” Lewis County Fire District 6 Firefighter DJ Hammer said in a news release.

It happened at the 100 block of Hoyt Road.

Hammer described the garage as a total loss, and noted he was unaware of any injuries.

A fire investigator is looking into the cause.
